The problem

Why it leaks here

A budget must be explainable. You used to see an overrun at the end of the year. With monthly numbers and drill-down to the entry, you see it in the month itself, and the question lands where it belongs: with the budget holder.

What it costs

At a 3% net margin, every percent of leakage costs a third of the profit.

Raw material, energy and hours go up, the cost price stays put. You only see an overrun at the end of the year.

What we check

4 checks, on every line

  • Variance per budget holder and cost type, above 10% and above €5,000
  • No explanation within five working days: escalated in the report
  • Three months in a row over budget
  • Revenue falling behind while costs stay flat

Example alert · made-up company

What you start with

General ledger and budget as an export. Later through your accounting package’s API, with a key you manage yourselves.

Compared with what exists

Reporting software shows the numbers. We also ask for the explanation, from the right person, with the entries attached, and put the answer in the report.

How it connects

No partner contract and no integration project. Email and exports first, the API with your own key later. Exact Online, AFAS, Business Central, Odoo, SAP Business One, Ridder iQ, Isah and King.

The rules. With the calculation attached

Every rule has a threshold, a calculation and an action. So you see exactly when something becomes an alert, and what it is worth.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

About the Leak Check, your invoices, your ERP and what it costs.

Does this replace Power BI or our reports?

No. Dashboards show what happened. We handle the explanation: who needs to explain why, and what the answer is.

Do we need to connect anything to our ERP?

No. An export from your accounting and the PDFs from your largest suppliers are enough, from Exact Online, AFAS, Business Central, Twinfield, SnelStart, SAP or any other package. After that you send your new invoices every month, or create an API key yourself.

Is this AI? Who decides?

AI only reads the PDF invoices. Any invoice whose lines do not add up to the total is set aside and checked by hand. Plain code does the comparing and the maths, following our public rulebook. A person reviews every finding, and nothing goes to a supplier without your approval.

More questions?
